It’s Official

Complete with 11 new bridges and flyover ramps, the $265 million Telegraph Road Interchange Project is officially opened. Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton along with federal, state and local officials celebrated the completion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, April 4. The interchange improvement is the final phase of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Replacement Program. The new Telegraph Road interchange was constructed by a joint venture of Corman and Kiewil construction companies.
